Message from our Chair & CEO
Welcome to Lynas Corporation’s 2020 Sustainability Report. This Report builds on the inaugural Sustainability Report
that we released last year, and includes our key initiatives and metrics for the 2020 financial year.
Our company is focused on the sustainable and environmentally responsible production of Rare Earth materials. In doing
so, we aim to deliver positive outcomes for our people, our customers and suppliers, our communities and the
environment.
Rare Earths continue to be in the spotlight as critical materials for 21st century manufacturing – the ‘vitamins of industry’
- and Lynas holds a unique position as the only significant producer of separated Rare Earths outside of China. The
environmental provenance and sustainability of our Rare Earths products matter to our customers and end users and in
this report, we outline how Lynas meets the high standards expected by our customers around the world as well as our
investors, communities and other important stakeholders.
This year we are reporting for the first time on our Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions for both our
operating sites (Mt Weld and Malaysia). We also provide further updates on our Life Cycle Assessments and
Environmental Product Declarations.
We hope you find this report informative and we look forward to updating you on our continued progress.
Mike Harding Amanda Lacaze

Chair CEO & Managing Director

About Lynas
Lynas Corporation Ltd (ASX: LYC) is the world’s second largest producer of Rare Earths, operating a
high grade mine at Mt Weld, Western Australia and a reliable, sustainable chemical processing plant in
Gebeng, Malaysia.
The long term demand outlook for key Rare Earth products, including Neodymium-Praseodymium (NdPr), remains
strong. Demand for magnetic materials using NdPr is driven by energy efficient technologies, including electric and hybrid
vehicles and wind power. In addition, our Lanthanum and Cerium products are used in important environmental
applications, including automotive catalysts. The key markets for Lynas’ Rare Earth materials are manufacturing supply
chains in Asia, Europe and North America.
Developments during the year included:

Lynas Malaysia • Our Malaysian operating licence was renewed for three years to
March 2023.
• In December 2019, we announced our planned Australian Rare
Earths Processing Facility will be built in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia. The Kalgoorlie Facility is expected to be operational by
mid-2023 and the project has received Lead Agency status from the
Government of Western Australia and Major Project status from
Mt Weld, the Australian government.
Western  In April 2020, we announced that Lynas had been selected by U.S.
Australia Dept of Defense for Phase 1 of U.S. Heavy Rare Earths separation
facility and in July 2020 we announced that we had signed a Phase 1
contract.
The Lynas Corporation registered office is in Perth, Western Australia, and our principal administrative office is in
Kuantan, Malaysia. Further information on our company can be found in our FY2020 Financial Report available at
www.lynascorp.com
Our vision is to be the supplier of choice for our customers and a leader in sustainably produced Rare Earths. This
vision lives through our people and the way we do business. Shared values and a culture which unlocks the potential of
our people are fundamental to our success.
Governance
Our values are reflected in our Code of Conduct which sets the standard for our business ethics, financial practice, health
and safety, and environmental practices. The Code of Conduct also outlines the official complaints procedure. We have
a Whistleblower Policy in place to ensure there are multiple avenues for employees to raise concerns or report incidents.
Our Whistleblower Policy contains protections and confidentiality provisions for whistleblowers, consistent with
applicable legislation. All employees are bound by multiple policies that include the Code of Conduct, available in both
English and Malay. Our Anti-Bribery Policy complements our Code of Conduct with additional guidance on compliance
with our zero tolerance of bribery and other forms of corruption. Employees who are found to have breached our Code
of Conduct or our Anti-Bribery Policy are subject to disciplinary action which may include termination of their
employment and referral to relevant authorities.
It is essential that suppliers and other business partners who supply Lynas with raw materials and services understand
Lynas’ socially responsible operating procedures and work with the Group on implementing these standards throughout
the entire supply chain. In 2019, Lynas established a Supplier Sustainability Policy and Code of Conduct to ensure supplier
compliance with Lynas’ Code of Conduct, policies and standards on human rights, ethical, environmental, health and safety
matters. The document was updated in 2020 and is available on our Website www.lynascorp.com. Supplier audits also
commenced in 2019 for all current suppliers.
Lynas has been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) since April 2019. Our Supplier Sustainability
Policy incorporates our commitment to the Ten Principles of the UNGC. This Policy has been shared with all direct
material suppliers, major contractors and parts suppliers. Acknowledgements have been received and supplier audits have
commenced. To support this new Policy, all buyers in Lynas’ procurement team have received Supply Chain & Sustainable
Procurement Training by an expert sustainability consultancy based in Singapore. In addition, supplier sustainability
requirements have been integrated into our ISO-based standard procedures.
Sustainability Ratings
External ratings and rankings are an important tool to help us measure our sustainability performance both globally and
within our industry. Sustainability ratings and rankings are increasingly being used by customers and investors to assess
the sustainability performance of companies. We actively participate in external ratings to benchmark ourselves against
peers and competitors and recognise that strong performances in relevant and acknowledged ratings help to strengthen
the Lynas brand and enhance employee satisfaction.
EcoVadis provides supplier sustainability ratings for global supply chains and in 2019, Lynas Malaysia
received a “Gold” CSR rating from EcoVadis. Gold status means our company is among the top 5% of
organisations evaluated and reaffirms our commitment to supply chain transparency and sustainability
excellence.
Lynas is also benchmarked on ESG performance by ESG research agencies and in 2020, Lynas received an ‘A’ ESG rating
from MSCI. Lynas also submits data to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), ISS, S&P SAM, Sustainalytics, Vigeo Eiris
and FTSE Russell.
Our excellent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) record was also recognised in November 2019 when Lynas Malaysia
received the ‘Best in CSR Award’ in the Lang International Awards.
Board Composition and Diversity Focus

Lynas’ Board of Directors has six members – five are independent and the sixth is our Managing Director and Chief
Executive Officer (CEO). Through our Diversity Policy, we recognise and champion diversity to acquire a broad range of
perspectives, experience and expertise. The policy promotes diversity in our Board of Directors and senior management
team and sets out objectives to promote diversity across Lynas. A total of 33.0% of our Board of Directors are women.
On 7 July 2020, it was announced that Lynas Chair Mike Harding, would retire as Chair of the Board and as a non-
Executive Director of Lynas on 30 September 2020. Kathleen Conlon, a Non-Executive Director of Lynas since
November 2011, has been elected to succeed Mike in the role of Non-Executive Chair with effect from 30 September
2020.
Lynas’ Board committees include an Audit and Risk Committee, a Health, Safety and Environment Committee and a
Nomination, Remuneration and Community Committee. Committee mandates are reviewed and updated regularly to
maintain continued relevance and to provide an effective framework for a high standard of governance. As summarised
in the Corporate Governance Statement, each member of each Board Committee is an independent Director. At a Board
level, Sustainability is overseen by the Board’s Health, Safety & Environment Committee. At an executive level, the Lynas
Leadership Team is responsible for Sustainability. The Lynas Leadership Team is the most senior management committee

in the company and includes: (i) the CEO (with overall responsibility for strategy, including climate related strategy), (ii)
the VP Upstream (who oversees risk management in upstream operations, including climate related risks), (iii) the VP
Downstream (who oversees risk management in downstream operations, including work related to life cycle assessment
and related issues), (iv) the General Counsel (who oversees risk management in the organization, including climate related
risks), and (v) the VP People & Culture (who oversees people related matters including employment, diversity and
communities).

Our Corporate Governance Statement lists responsibilities for the full Board and its committees. For more information
on our corporate governance practices, see our Corporate Governance Statement, Constitution and Board Charter
which are available on our website at www.lynascorp.com.
Risk Management
Risk management is an essential business practice linked to strategy, business objectives and decision making. Risk
management is integrated across all operating sites, development projects and corporate activities. We identify financial,
operational, environmental, health and safety, and social risks, then evaluate the inherent risk of an activity and the
mitigation required. Risk assessments are updated by operations and management and reported to the Board of Directors.
Our materiality process complements our risk practices as we assess the key external impacts of our activities and their
related business consequences. This view of materiality can shine a light on emerging sustainability risks and opportunities.
In FY2020, Lynas became a supporter of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and a guide to
our TCFD disclosures is on pages 29 and 30 of this Report.
Key objectives and Performance indicators

Lynas has implemented tools to measure our performance in terms of labour-related, environmental and social
responsibility key performance indicators.
Measuring progress involves identifying a major challenge for each theme, and evaluating the achievement of the associated
targets through one or more key performance indicators. The following performance chart sets out our main objectives
and key performance indicators.

Our Approach
Material Issues
This report covers the key environmental, social and economic aspects which reflect the material issues of Lynas’
operations. Issues are considered to be material if they have the potential to have a significant effect - positive or negative
- on Lynas’ operations or reputation or are of concern to stakeholders.
The process for determining the material issues of FY2020 comprised four key steps: research, identification, prioritization
and validation. This process was conducted by a cross-functional team to ensure that we considered the full scope of the
effects of our activities, both within our own operations and externally through interactions with suppliers, customers,
consumers, communities, the environment and others.
Research Identification Prioritisation Validation

Key Material Issues

We use a materiality analysis to determine which aspects of sustainability should be the focus of our activities. The
following materiality matrix, updated for FY2020, presents the aspects that Lynas and its stakeholders deemed to be of
material relevance within the defined fields of activity, classed by order of importance.
The vertical axis maps the relative importance of the topics to our stakeholders; the horizontal axis shows the significance
of Lynas’ economic, environmental and social impacts.
These material issues are not only the content of Lynas’ Sustainability Report, they are continued areas of focus for the
Company as we drive sustainable value creation.
Material Priorities
Health and safety

The health and safety of our workforce and our communities is the first priority for
Lynas. We focus on eliminating fatalities, life-changing injuries and occupational
illnesses from our business, while reducing all workplace injuries and health impacts.
At the same time, our high standards of safety and environmental management are focused on ensuring our operations
are safe for our communities and the environment.
Communities & Human Rights

We recognise the importance of supporting the communities in which we
work and live and make it a priority to take an active role in our
communities. We aim to make a positive contribution to local
employment, skills, education, health and the environment. We also support disadvantaged groups including the elderly,
disabled and women and girls.
Environment
Lynas proactively works to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions,
conserve resources and energy, prevent contamination of the air,
water and soil, and limit residue generation. We develop and
produce environmentally responsible products and we encourage reuse and recycling and engage in activities and develop
technologies that help conserve the natural environment. In these ways, Lynas strives to reduce our environmental burden
at every level of our business activities.
Product Responsibility and Stewardship

Lynas contributes to the competitiveness of our customers with our
sustainably produced products, solutions, and services. We partner with
our customers to identify and develop sustainability-related business
opportunities. We operate an efficient and resilient supply chain by using a supplier code of conduct, supplier audit and
risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
Engaging with our Stakeholders

In addition to our materiality assessment, we engage with stakeholders in many ways on an ongoing basis – ranging from
an annual customer satisfaction survey to regular dialogue with our local communities through information and education
programs, as well as community partnerships. This is in line with SDG 17, which calls for a revitalised and enhanced global
partnership that brings together governments, civil society, the private sector, the United Nations system, and other
stakeholders.
We communicate our progress to shareholders and investment communities though our Annual Report (available in the
Investors section of our website www.lynascorp.com), through Investor and Shareholder briefings, meetings and
conferences, community engagements and, as of 2019, via the distribution of our annual Sustainability Report.

Auditing
In FY20, we continued our series of occupational safety audits of high-risk activities. In addition to the numerous internal
inspections and externally conducted audits at both operating sites, the Lynas internal audit team has been conducting
occupational safety audits to analyze the effectiveness of safety risk management at both operating sites.
During November, the AELB (Atomic Energy Licensing Board) completed its pre-licence renewal audit of the Lynas
Malaysia operations. All regulatory conditions were in compliance. The audit result was “Very Satisfactory”, which is the
highest performance rating. This is the third audit in a row that we have maintained a “Very Satisfactory” performance
rating. The Lynas Malaysia operating licence was renewed for three years to March 2023.
OSH Performance
Lynas is proud of our high workplace health and safety standards at both of our operating locations. In August 2019,
Lynas Malaysia was awarded a Gold Class award for 2018 by the Malaysian Society for Occupational Safety and Health.
The annual occupational safety and health performance awards recognise organisations which have achieved
commendable safety and health records and/or have shown improvement in occupational safety and health processes
through sound safety and health management systems.
Golden Rules
We believe in safe production to make sure everyone working at Lynas goes home safe and well. However, to reduce
our injury rate and improve our safety performance, a Golden Rules training program was introduced in Malaysia in
FY19 that focuses on identifying our top safety risks and developing more robust controls and systems to manage them.
This program has been embraced by our employees and contractors and has contributed to a reduced injury frequency.
The rollout of this program at Mt Weld was deferred due to the need to implement health and safety initiatives related
to COVID-19. The program is now being initiated at Mt Weld in FY21.
Communities & Human Rights

We recognise that a planned, transparent and constructive approach to stakeholder engagement and
local socioeconomic development are key to attaining sustainable goals. Our engagement with
communities in the areas where we operate is active, inclusive and equitable.
We prioritise the employment of local people and sourcing from local businesses, and we make an active contribution to
our local communities. Our approach includes information and consultation with local communities as well as partnerships
with government and non-governmental organisations.
Local Hiring
In Malaysia, local employees represent 97% of Lynas Malaysia’s 675 strong workforce. Indirect employee numbers,
including contractors and those employed at firms for whom Lynas Malaysia is the sole or major customer, are estimated
at more than 1200 people.
In Western Australia, the remote location of the Mt Weld mine means that Lynas’ workforce is predominantly fly-in, fly-
out. However, to ensure that Lynas employees and contractors have the opportunity to make a positive contribution to
the local community, in November 2016 the Lynas mining camp was moved to the nearby town of Laverton. The Mt
Weld team continues to increase its connection with the local community. Lynas participates in local volunteering and
community activities as well as careers fairs to encourage local employment opportunities.
Local Procurement
Companies like Lynas can have a significant local economic impact through our local procurement decisions and processes.
We aim to maximise our local purchasing. In FY2020, over 90% of inputs were procured at the local level (Pahang State

in Malaysia or Goldfields region in Western Australia) or at country level across the Company’s operating sites. Lynas is
a key customer to many local suppliers.
Direct community engagement and participation

As active and engaged members of our local communities, Lynas and our employees participate in community activities,
and members of our local communities actively participate in Lynas activities.
In FY2020, direct community investment expenditures across our operations were approximately AU$345,000, excluding
numerous employee volunteering hours which were not recorded in FY2020. Some community initiatives were
postponed due to COVID-19.
Community investments across our operations included funding for projects in the areas of economic diversification, local
employment and training, culture and heritage, education, environmental stewardship, sports and recreation, community
wellness, health services, and supporting women and girls and disabled members of our communities.
Stakeholder engagement for environmental approvals

Lynas engages and consults with our local communities and other interested parties regarding environmental approvals.
Significant approval processes involve stakeholder engagement with interested parties who may be affected by the
proposed activities. Lynas’ Stakeholder Engagement Strategy sets out a roadmap for broad-scale consultation with
stakeholders, to continue throughout the life of the project.
In FY20, Lynas announced that Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, would be the location for the company’s planned Australian
Rare Earth Processing Facility, which is expected to create 500 jobs during construction and 100 new ongoing jobs once
operational. Lynas has commenced a stakeholder engagement program for the Kalgoorlie community which has included
presentations to and consultation with local community members and the business community, an interactive online
community forum and February 2020 and ongoing consultation with the local, state and federal governments.
Community development and engagement

Lynas is highly engaged with our local stakeholders and communities. In Malaysia, in FY20 we engaged with the wider
Malaysian community through community information booths, fact sheets and communications in major news media (in
English, Malay and Mandarin). In February 2020 we launched the lynasfacts.com website to provide easy access to factual
and reliable information about Lynas Malaysia’s operations to ensure that members of the public have access to accurate
and up-to-date information about Lynas Malaysia.
During the year, Lynas Malaysia welcomed over 2500 visitors to our plant including visitors from Institute of Engineers
Malaysia, Pahang Institute of Chemistry, IAEA Postgraduates in Radiation Protection and Safety, Royal Military College
Alumni, Roskill Conference participants and 2000 esteemed visitors and community members who attended an Open
Day at our plant where we shared our contribution to Malaysia’s Shared Prosperity 2030 vision. This was one of over 50
community activities we led or contributed to during the year.
In Western Australia, we are committed to making a positive contribution to local employment, skills, education, health,
and the environment.
Lynas has been an active board member of the Laverton Cross Cultural Association (LCCA) since 2009. Laverton is the
nearest community to our Mt Weld site. The LCCA is an incorporated, not for profit, charitable organisation established
in partnership with local community and Aboriginal organisations, government agencies and mining companies for mutual
benefit. The primary purpose of the LCCA is to provide and enhance the employment, training, economic development
and retention of Aboriginal people. This is achieved through employment, education, training and enterprise programmes
as well as assistance for vulnerable members of local communities. Lynas’ membership of the LCCA provides an
opportunity for consultation and collaboration with local government, businesses and communities. Lynas provides
financial and in-kind support to the LCCA, including flights for volunteers and training providers.
Lynas team members regularly volunteer to assist with local community initiatives in the Laverton area and Lynas supports
a range of sporting and health initiatives in local communities, including by providing flights for doctors and community
members as well as donations of equipment. As outlined above, in FY2020 we extended our community outreach to
include businesses and community members in the Kalgoorlie area.
The following tables highlight key community investment initiatives at each of our sites.

Human Rights
Lynas is committed to respecting all internationally recognised human rights in our operations. We treat our employees,
contractors, neighbours, local communities and host governments with dignity and respect. Lynas does not tolerate any
form of discrimination or harassment and we foster a work environment free from discrimination against gender, age,
race, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, disability, or any other personal characteristics
protected by applicable law.
Our Human Rights Policy, updated in 2020, is based on the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), the International
Labour Organization’s (ILO) core conventions, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Guiding
Principles for Business and Human Rights, and the International Bill of Human Rights and prohibits all forms of forced
labour and child labour in our operations and in our suppliers’ operations.
This Human Rights Policy is overseen by Lynas’ Board of Directors, including the Chief Executive Officer.
We respect the rights, interests, special connections to lands and waters, and perspectives of Indigenous Peoples, where
mining projects are to be located on lands traditionally owned by or under customary use of Indigenous Peoples.
No human rights-related grievances were filed in FY2020. There were no recorded incidents of proven discrimination at
our operations during the reporting period.
The Modern Slavery Act

We support the 2018 Modern Slavery Act, which is an important part of the Australian Government’s broader response
to the global problem of modern slavery. The Government released its final guidelines in September 2019. In response,
we are working closely with the Minerals Council of Australia (MCA) to understand the broad reporting requirements
as well as the practicalities and complexities we must manage to meet these obligations. We contributed to an MCA
submission to clarify expectations and ensure the focus is on areas where companies are more likely to have capacity to
influence change and support development of a meaningful report.
We will release a Modern Slavery Statement for the 2020 financial year by early calendar year 2021.

Employee structure and development

At June 30, 2020, Lynas employed 1015 people, comprising 765 employees and 250 contract workers across Malaysia and
Australia.
Contract employees are primarily engaged in maintenance, mine development, mining and project activities and are
included in our safety training and performance statistics. They are held to the same high safety standards as Lynas
employees and receive equivalent training.
In FY2020, our employees were almost exclusively from in-country, with expatriates accounting for only 2.5% of our
employees across our operations.

Our company-wide turnover rate for 2020 was well below the industry standard at approximately 3.6%. We use a 15%
turnover rate as the industry standard.
Top Employer
We value our people and believe in providing enhanced benefits, leave and allowances to strengthen employee wellbeing
and work-life balance. Lynas offers comprehensive and competitive benefit programmes in both Malaysia and Western
Australia to attract and retain our talented workforce.
In Malaysia, we offer training, flexible working hours for non-operations employees, maternity leave above statutory
requirements, part-time work transition from maternity leave, paternity leave and health schemes.
In Australia, we offer training and other development opportunities for our Mt Weld workforce. As a best practice
employer, we also ‘top up’ an employee’s pay during the 18 week period of Government-funded Parental Leave to their
full rate of pay during the period and continue to make superannuation payments throughout this period. We also offer
Dad and partner pay of one week paid leave to new parents.
In June 2020, we launched our inaugural company-wide Employee Engagement Survey and achieved a participation rate
of 64%. The survey found:
• 97% of staff agree with the statement “I believe the work we do is important because Lynas is a sustainable and
environmentally responsible producer of Rare Earths”
• 95% of staff say they are “proud to work for Lynas”
• 95% of staff say they know what to do to be successful in their role
• 89% of staff see themselves still working at Lynas in 12 months’ time
• 88% of staff would recommend Lynas as a great place to work
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lynas Malaysia plant was placed into care and maintenance mode for 44 days
following the implementation of the Malaysian government’s Movement Control Order. This meant that the majority of
our team was working from home. In Western Australia, only essential team members were working on site during the
lockdown period and we introduced a COVID-19 Special Leave Policy and restricted access to our local town to help
protect the local community.
Across our sites, new COVID-19 health and safety protocols were introduced, including temperature checks, additional
PPE including gloves and masks, physical distancing, outside meetings, and reduced flight loadings to 50% to Mt Weld. In
both Australia and Malaysia, Lynas proudly continued to pay all employees, whether they were working from home,
working on site, or were currently not rostered on. Where team members were not required on site, they used this
opportunity to complete training, reports and scoping projects.

Diversity
Mining and Chemicals have traditionally been male-dominated industries. Lynas has been proactively promoting equal
opportunities for women, with a key focus on increasing participation in operating areas, including requirements that
qualified female applicants are included in open positions.
Efforts to achieve diversity can contribute to the United Nations Agenda 2030 in several ways, notably by promoting
equality, educational opportunities, job creation and high-quality employment. In line with our commitment to diversity
in all of its forms, our senior management is culturally diverse with over 10 nationalities represented in our executive and
senior leadership ranks.
The percentage of female employees in senior executive positions increased to 16.7% at the end of FY20 from 15.1% in
FY 2019.
Proportion of women (%) FY19 FY20

Lynas Total Employees 15.9% 15.5%
Senior Executives 15.1% 16.7%
Lynas Board 33.0% 33.0%
In FY20, Lynas adopted a new definition for “senior executives” which is now defined as all managers and above. This
change in the definition is reflected in the percentage of “senior executive” women reported for both FY19 and FY20.
Lynas is not a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act as there were less than 100 employees in
Australia during the year ending June 30, 2020.
Lynas intends to increase employment opportunities for women across our organization, including by promoting women
into leadership roles. The specific quantitative objectives set by the Board for achieving gender diversity are as follows:
Female Gender Diversity (%) FY2020 (actual) Target (2021) Target (2023)
Lynas Total Employees 15.5% 20% 30%
Senior Executives 16.7% 20% 30%
Lynas Board 33% 33% 40%
Training and Professional Development

Ongoing communication and training are essential elements for employees and contractors to successfully meet our
stringent health and safety commitments, and to develop their skills and knowledge, including through technical and
leadership training. In FY20, Lynas Malaysia employees received a total of 20,764.5 hours of training, equating to an
average of approximately 31.54 hours and A$504 per employee. Current training data for Mt Weld shows an average
of approximately 16.98 hours per employee. The current data does not capture all training conducted at Mt Weld, on
and offsite.
In Malaysia, of 675 employees, 545 (80%) are at least certificate qualified.
Staff Qualification

Employee performance reviews are conducted annually with 100% of employees. Supervisory, management and executive
positions have performance-based compensation bonuses which are assessed on metrics such as health and safety metrics,
production volumes, environmental compliance and other corporate goals and individual objectives.
Through our performance assessment programme, over 80% of our employees have been promoted at least once during
their employment at Lynas.
During the year, 35 managers from across the company took part in a leadership training program called LEAD. Our
LEAD program is aimed at high-level managers and other high potential team members. The guided programs help to
develop and enhance leadership skills. LEAD also helps us to establish a strong global network of managers and promote
our corporate culture. This program followed the 70/20/10 philosophy of adult learning through 70% Experience, 20%
Exposure and 10% Education, with a total of 48 hours per participant of active learning, workshops and self-evaluation.
The objectives of the LEAD program were to:

• Develop better and stronger leaders
• Enhance the confidence of our leaders and provide a tool kit for effective leadership, both within the
leadership team and with their own teams
• Develop a common language around leadership at Lynas.
Environment & Biodiversity

We integrate environmental management across our business, identifying and managing environmental
risks to achieve positive environmental outcomes.
Climate change
We aim to minimise any effects on the environment in which we operate and to minimise our lasting footprint.
We acknowledge that mining and processing consumes significant amounts of energy, water and other resources and we
work continually to reduce energy consumption and emissions and maximise the responsible management of materials.
We are committed to making an important contribution to the decarbonization of the global economy. In this regard, we
contribute to SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production, as well as SDG
13 – Climate Action.
In compliance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act (NGER), in 2013 we began our carbon
management programme recording our carbon footprint. Under this initiative, we report our greenhouse gas emissions
associated with our Mt Weld operation to the Clean Energy Regulator (see the table below).
Our carbon calculation consists of the consumption of electricity and fossil fuels. In FY2020, we have integrated our
operations in Malaysia into our greenhouse gas reporting. In FY2020, we are also submitting greenhouse gas emission
data and related information from our Mt Weld and Malaysian operations to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
Direct greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1) arise from sources in the company’s ownership or under its control. Indirect
greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2) refer to the consumption of purchased electrical energy and district heating. Scope
3 emissions are other emissions that arise from sources owned or controlled by other entities within our value chain,
such as those arising from the use of our products, business travel by employees and the transportation of materials that
we purchase and sell. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions have been measured for our Malaysia operations since
2017/2018. Scope 3 emissions from our supply chain have not been evaluated in FY2020.

As the operational activities within our businesses increase, our fuel and electricity usage will also rise, thus contributing
to an increase in carbon emissions.
The overall rise in emissions in 2019 was largely attributable to inefficiencies during our ramp up of production to meet
increased demand. Nevertheless, initiatives have been implemented to minimise our energy usage.
To influence GHG emissions in our value chain, we prefer rail transportation to truck, because of its lower emissions
intensity. When possible, we procure inputs from local suppliers to reduce transport costs and related emissions.
The GHG impact of distribution of products and residue has not yet been assessed and is not included in this reporting.
Our Targets for FY21 are to:

• Develop a Climate Change Policy and associated greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets
• Evaluate Scope 3 emissions
• Enhance our TCFD reporting.
Water
Clean and sufficient water is a critical resource for society and for Lynas’ operations. The global challenge of protecting
this supply is addressed through a broad range of activities by our Company – from creating products that enable water
treatment, to improving the efficiency of water use in our operations. This section focuses primarily on the water footprint
of our operations.
Mt Weld has established internal objectives and targets in line with the Lynas Environmental Policy to recycle our process
water. An overall water consumption target of less than 4.5m3 of permeate water per tonne of ore was set for the FY20
period to reduce water consumption. Lynas has, and continues to, optimise flotation techniques to continuously improve
ore utilization. Lynas has also implemented industry leading water management systems to improve water recycling. Lynas
achieved a result of 4.36m3 of permeate water per tonne of ore in FY19, which was ahead of target. In FY20, Lynas
achieved a result of 4.67m3 of permeate water per tonne of ore, which was slightly higher than the target, primarily due
to inefficiencies from temporary industry shutdowns arising from the global COVID-19 situation. Improving water
recycling will continue to be a key project in FY21.

 Water Recycled (Australia only) 239 936 189 653
 % of Water Recycled Australia 16.5% 13.2%
In Malaysia, Lynas uses scheme water (city water) provided by the local water utility provider. Lynas Malaysia has two
process water ponds with a capacity of 6000m3 which supply water to the plant as needed at a rate of approximately
400m3/hr. Following intermittent water supply issues in 2018, a larger, third water storage pond was constructed and
became operational in FY19. A dedicated water flow meter has been installed to process the incoming city water, enabling
us to precisely monitor our water consumption.
We are continually striving to minimise water usage in our operations and throughout our supply chain in order to
protect the environment, reduce costs and ensure our future resilience.
Lynas meets all statutory requirements on monitoring and permit conditions with regard to wastewater discharges and
there were zero significant water-related incidents at both sites during FY20.
Energy savings
At Lynas, we are proactively finding new ways to conserve energy and accelerate our energy saving initiatives. Our
Company is working to reduce energy consumption and increase resource conservation. Reducing our energy
consumption not only reduces our environmental footprint as we consume less resources, it also optimises our
operational efficiencies.

Work is being undertaken in the scoping phase for a hybrid power station at Mt Weld, comprising a Photovoltaics array
and wind turbine, to significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels for power generation.
To assist with the scoping works, a wind and solar monitoring station has been installed. A preferred site for a
Photovoltaics array and wind turbine has been selected and land surveys have been undertaken.
Our intention is to develop a hybrid power station at the time of the next plant expansion. The hybrid power station
would potentially supply a substantial proportion of the site power from renewable energy during the peak sunlight hours
during the day.
In FY20, consumption of natural gases decreased by 14% due to lower heating demand during the COVID-19 crisis. The

Biodiversity
Biodiversity at Mt Weld
The Lynas Environmental Policy and Environmental Management Plan align with the company’s stated objective to care
for and protect our environment, the UN Global Compact, the requirements of ISO14001:2016 International Standard
for Environmental Management Systems and the ICMM principles for conservation of biodiversity.
Our key biodiversity goals are to:
• Avoid adverse effects on biodiversity; and

• Achieve zero significant environmental incidents.
Lynas does not operate in or adjacent to key biodiversity areas such as Commonwealth or State listed priority ecological
communities, threatened ecological communities, or World Heritage areas and in 2020 there were no significant
environmental incidents.
Lynas’ Mt Weld mine is situated 35 km southeast of Laverton in the Murchison Region of Western Australia. The nearest
regional city is Kalgoorlie-Boulder located 433 km south of Laverton.
Since 2011, we have been completing terrestrial and subterranean ecological surveys to understand the flora, vegetation
and fauna (both vertebrate and invertebrate) species on land and below the surface to complete detailed environmental
impact assessments, with the most recent survey in April 2020. This survey was conducted by experienced external
biodiversity experts in line with guidance from the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).
At Mt Weld, Lynas implements an Environmental Management Plan that has been approved by the EPA. Our
Environmental Management Plan includes a mitigation hierarchy that sets objectives and targets for flora, fauna, surface
water, and ground water.
We perform quarterly groundwater seepage monitoring surrounding our Mt Weld tailings storage facilities with water
analysis performed by an independent third party. Since we commenced operations we have seen no impact on
groundwater quality. In addition, 13 years of vegetation health monitoring has shown that there are no significant impacts
on flora surrounding the Mt Weld site.
The vegetation surrounding the Mt Weld site was surveyed by biodiversity experts in April 2020 and was assessed as
being in “very good condition”, the second highest rating available.
Mine Closure and Rehabilitation
Mine Closure and Rehabilitation at Mt Weld

A Mine Closure Plan approved by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety fulfils the requirements for
decommissioning, rehabilitation and closure of the Mt Weld Project. The 2018 Mine Closure Plan addresses:
• removal or, if appropriate, disposal on-site of plant and infrastructure;
• rehabilitation of all disturbed areas to agreed final land use(s); and
• identification of contaminated sites, including provision of evidence of notification to relevant regulators.
Lynas recognises that planning for mine closure and rehabilitation needs to be undertaken in an effective and progressive
manner to minimise adverse long term environmental, social and economic impacts. Progressive mine closure planning is
a prerequisite for the creation of stable, safe and non-polluting landforms suitable for the agreed post mining land use. In
general, mine closure works aim to:
• minimise the footprint of operations upon closure;
• determine the optimum strategies for effective closure and rehabilitation of the mine site;
• progressively rehabilitate disturbed areas during the mine life; and
• monitor the site during operations and upon completion of rehabilitation activities to demonstrate compliance
with closure objectives.
The 2018 Mine Closure Plan has been prepared with the aim of progressively rehabilitating and closing the Mt Weld
Project so that all closure obligations are met and there is no unacceptable liability to the State of Western Australia and
Page | 22
the community. The structure of the Mine Closure Plan sets out a strategic approach to ensure closure of the Mt Weld
Project:
• Project overview;
• Identification of closure obligations and commitments;
• Stakeholder engagement;
• Post-mining land use;
• Closure objectives and completion criteria;
• Collection and analysis of closure data;
• Identification and management of closure issues;
• Closure implementation;
• Proposed closure monitoring and maintenance program;
• Financial provisioning for closure; and
• Management of information and data.
Lynas anticipates that the post mining land use for most of the Project will be ‘Pastoral Land’. We are committed to the
rehabilitation of all disturbed areas to the agreed final land use(s). The proposed post mining land use has been discussed
with key stakeholders throughout the life of the Project. Further consultation with key stakeholders, including pastoral
land holders, will take place as the mine progresses to ensure that pastoral use remains the most suitable post mining
land use. We propose to encourage vegetative growth and rehabilitate these landforms to achieve functioning ecosystems.
As ongoing monitoring informs realistic achievable criteria for these domains, post-mining land use will be updated.
In February 2020, the team at Mt Weld established a rehabilitation trial on the eastern batter of the waste rock landform.
The constructed field trial will test the conceptual landform design and determine if closure objectives within the Mine
Closure Plan are likely to be met. Annual rehabilitation monitoring will be undertaken over several years to assess
performance against meeting closure objectives. Outcomes from annual monitoring may lead to refinement of the
conceptual design until a Final Landform Design is approved.
Closure Monitoring and Maintenance at Mt Weld

Monitoring is essential to track the progress of rehabilitation and closure, to inform when contingencies and corrective
actions are needed, and to ensure that the rehabilitation fulfils completion criteria, which define the success of
rehabilitation strategies for closure. Rehabilitation will continue to be monitored until the criteria are met, and then
annually for five years after this time to ensure the ecosystem is resilient and self-sustaining and does not require further
management intervention. Information from monitoring will also feed back into management strategies and improve
rehabilitation and environmental management. If particular strategies are not progressing rehabilitation towards the
completion criteria, then new strategies can be developed to help achieve desired outcomes. For example, species that
have not grown successfully may be substituted with other appropriate local provenance species or establishment
techniques revised.
Proposed closure monitoring considers the wider receiving environments, receptors and exposure pathways. Lynas will
utilise appropriate procedures in sampling, analysis and reporting of results, and continue to reference the recorded
trends against the expected or predicted performance.
If monitoring demonstrates movement outside of the agreed parameters, we are committed to the development of
remedial and intervention strategies over the next three years, and continuing post closure monitoring until the agreed
completion criteria have been demonstrated to be met.
Decommissioning Plan at Lynas Malaysia

The Lynas Malaysia plant is located in the Gebeng Industrial Estate, Malaysia. Lynas Malaysia has lodged a Decommissioning
Plan with the Malaysian Atomic Energy Licensing Board, setting out our plans for decommissioning, rehabilitation and
closure of the Lynas Malaysia plant at the end of its operating life.
Residues
Tailings are a common by-product of the mining process and tailings management is a critical element in the design,
operation and closure planning of mines. Recent incidents at the operations of some other companies demonstrate the
potential severe impacts of tailings failures.

Building on our strong track record of tailings management, in 2020, we had zero significant incidents at our tailings
storage facilities.
Mt Weld Tailings deposition and consolidation

Rare Earths production generates tailings at Mt Weld, composed of the gangue minerals and water from the mining and
floatation stages. Part of the water is recycled, and tailings may be a future source of Rare Earths. In 2019, Lynas completed
the Mt Weld Tailings Dam Questionnaire, in response to the Investor Mining & Tailings Safety Initiative. You can view
the responses on our website at https://www.lynascorp.com/sustainability/residue-tailings-management.
Tailings generated from the process plant are discharged into Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs). Our Mt Weld operation
is using Accelerated Mechanical Consolidation (AMC) technology to manage tailings and improve consolidation. Lynas
has partnered with Australian technology company Phibion, who provide a customised MudMaster® tuned to the specific
properties of the Mt Weld operation and supporting low-ground pressure bulldozers for final dewatering and landscaping.
In FY20, there was a reduction in total tailings volume stored at Mt Weld, despite increased tailings deposition from
operations. This was achieved due to increased stored density of tailings through the utilization of AMC technology.
Since the implementation of AMC at the Mt Weld operations, Lynas has seen significant improvements including:
• A 50% reduction in the tailings volume requiring storage (for the same tailings mass);
• An increase in final tailings density from 0.7 t/m3 (dry) to over 1.4 t/m3 (dry);
• Development of significant in-situ tailings strength to beyond 30kPa, which ensures stable landforms and supports
future rehabilitation activities.
These improvements have delayed the requirement for additional storage capacity in the near future. Although tailings
volumes generated over the life of mine will increase as milled ore tonnes increase, we are well positioned to manage
tailings in current and future facilities, reducing our overall disturbance footprint.
Mt Weld Tailings rehabilitation and closure

The overarching objectives for tailings storage features are to create safe, stable and non-polluting landforms, capable of
sustaining an agreed post mining land use. The closure strategy for TSFs is to install a capping layer over the consolidated
tailings surface and revegetate to establish a self-sustaining landform into the existing environment. Capping is best
described as a revegetated multi-layered soil cover. A key closure objective is that the capping layer facilitates a self-
sustaining ecosystem and provides a blanket to the underlying tailings which have naturally occurring radionuclides
present. Mt Weld tailings are considered geochemically benign and have low level naturally occurring radionuclides with
decant water comparable to the superficial aquifer water quality.
Lynas Malaysia residues

In line with the circular economy, Lynas’ approach to our industrial by-products is: reduce, reuse, recycle, long term
storage/disposal.
Our Malaysian operations produce two solid residues, a magnesium rich gypsum and an iron phosphate material. In line
with our commitment to ensure that our effluent discharge is safe for the environment and does not affect human health,
we comply with the Department of Environment’s stringent regulatory standards. These residues are known as NUF and
WLP:
• NUF = Neutralisation Underflow Residue, a magnesium rich synthetic gypsum.
• WLP = Water Leached Purification Residue, an iron phosphate material that is a very low level Naturally
Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM).
Lynas Malaysia has invested in research and development to convert by-products of our production into safe, saleable
industrial products. A long term plan has been agreed for NUF residue, including commercialisation and permanent
storage options. However, in compliance with the conditions of renewal of Lynas Malaysia’s operating licence announced
on 27 February 2020, Lynas is no longer pursuing commercial reuse of the material and will instead build a permanent
disposal facility for WLP.
Lynas announced on 30 January 2020 that the State Government of Pahang had issued its consent to a site for the
Permanent Deposit Facility for Water Leach Purification (WLP) residue and a turnkey contractor had been appointed to
Page | 24
manage the entire PDF project. Recently, on 5 August 2020, we announced that the Atomic Energy Licensing Board had
approved the proposed site for the Permanent Deposit Facility for WLP, subject to relevant studies and final approvals.
As announced on 9 December 2019, Lynas will establish a new Rare Earths Processing Facility in Kalgoorlie, Western
Australia, where concentrate from Mt Weld will undergo cracking and leaching, the first stage of its operations currently
located in Malaysia, before being shipped to Lynas Malaysia for further processing. In compliance with Lynas Malaysia’s
licence conditions, the Kalgoorlie facility is required to be operational by July 2023. Once the transition to Western
Australia is complete, material containing Naturally Occurring Radioactivity will no longer be imported into Malaysia.
Waste
Waste management involves numerous systems to control waste
management processes, waste streams and identifies the most
appropriate methods of disposal as a last resort. All waste materials are AVOID
stored and disposed of in a safe and environmentally responsible
manner.
Lynas has adopted: DISPOSE REDUCE
• Waste avoidance;
• Waste minimisation; WASTE
• Reuse; GENERATION
• Recycling;
• Treatment of waste; and TREAT REUSE
• Disposal of waste in an environmentally sound manner.

RECYCLE
At Mt Weld, controlled waste such as waste oils and greases are
temporarily stored onsite and transferred to a licensed Controlled
Waste Facility for recycling. All Controlled Waste is traceable via the
Department of Water and Environment Regulation (DWER) waste tracking network. To mitigate the possibility of
hydrocarbons being spilt into the environment, Mt Weld has constructed a dedicated Bioremediation Facility for the
natural remediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil via landfarming. Bioremediation is the above-ground remediation
of soils to reduce the concentrations of hydrocarbons via stimulation of naturally occurring bacteria in the soil.
All general non-recyclable waste is disposed at Mt Weld’s DWER licenced Class II Landfill Facility under Prescribed
Premise Licence L8141/2007/2. Non-recyclable waste disposed at Mt Weld includes putrescible waste, food and office
packaging waste. Waste disposed of in the open landfill trench is covered as it is disposed of, to prevent feral animals
scavenging and rubbish blowing away from the area.
In Malaysia, all scheduled wastes generated from our operations are being managed responsibly in terms of their
generation, storage, transportation and treatment. Scheduled wastes are collected by a licensed waste contractor that
has been approved by the Department of Environment, Malaysia (DOE).

Product Stewardship
Lynas Rare Earth materials are used in industries where environmental provenance and sustainability
matter.
Product Stewardship
Lynas Rare Earths are critical inputs for essential global manufacturing supply chains, including automotive (including hybrid
and electric vehicles), electronics, green technologies, medical devices and oil and gas. As a result, we have a high and
medium impact on numerous SDGs: SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being, SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG
8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities
and Communities, SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production as well as SDG 13 – Climate Action.
Taking responsibility for the environmental effects of a product and minimizing the effects as much as possible over its
entire life cycle is what Lynas means by product stewardship. Our focus is primarily on the optimal use of resources
within the development and production process.
Customer satisfaction
Meeting and exceeding the needs of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. To measure customer satisfaction
and, by extension, the quality of our partnerships, we use a comprehensive annual customer satisfaction survey. The
survey is part of a holistic approach to customer relations that includes implementing processes and systems designed to
help foster long-term customer loyalty.
As part of the survey, we encourage feedback from customers about areas of possible improvement. In response, we
establish measures for improvement that are reviewed on a regular basis. By making these adjustments, we aim to
continually enhance our customer relationships and ensure that Lynas remains the partner of choice for all of our
customers.
Based on numerous customer interviews in FY2020, our overall score increased. This reflected our intensified endeavors
to increase customer satisfaction and take advantage of new opportunities to grow our existing business and expand into
new areas.
Research & Development

Our research and development (R & D) activities are designed to develop innovative, sustainable solutions for our
customers – and to simultaneously ensure our competitiveness.
We dedicate internal resources to developing new and enhanced products in house, and in partnership with our
customers and partners. We also work closely with researchers from leading universities and research institutions in
Australia and Malaysia, under cooperative research agreements.
Results in Product Stewardship through Environmental Product Declaration

Lynas was built from the ground up as an environmentally responsible Rare Earths producer and our Rare Earth products
can be traced from our mine in Mt Weld to magnet production. We always strive to reduce our environmental impact.
As part of this goal, we adopt a sustainable management approach over the entire product life cycle by conducting Life
Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) in partnership with our customers.
Both LCAs and EPDs provide in-depth information about the environmental impact of products throughout their entire
life cycle. We also conduct LCAs for entire industrial systems, to gain a holistic assessment of their environmental aspects.
LCAs and EPDs help us to meet customer demand for environmental performance.
Page | 26
Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
At Lynas, we conduct a Screening LCA supported by software-based tools. LCA approaches are in line with the
requirements of ISO 14040 / 44. The standards of the International Organization for Standardization cover the entire
procedure for creating life-cycle assessments. Screening LCAs cover environmentally relevant parts or phases of a product
life cycle, whereas full-scale LCAs adopt a comprehensive approach, covering the environmental impacts over the entire
life cycle.
For better communication, we utilise an EPD, which is an independently verified and registered document that
communicates transparent and comparable information about the life-cycle environmental impact of products.
Moreover, findings from LCAs help us to improve our production processes.
These advanced benchmarks pave the way for environmentally friendly products with a longer life cycle and reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, as documented in detail in their LCAs and EPDs.
Supply Chain Management

The principal goal of supply chain management (SCM) at Lynas is to provide a sustainable contribution to our partners
and our local communities.
All purchasing activities are executed within the boundaries of our sustainability principles and Supplier Code of Conduct.
These are the guiding principles for our supply chain management and form an integral part of all relevant supplier
management processes – such as supplier selection, supplier qualification and evaluation, and supplier development.
Responsible supply chain management can contribute to progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in
several ways. In accordance with the UN Global Compact, the supply chain can make a significant impact in promoting
human rights, fair labour practices, environmental progress and anti-corruption policies.
We require all suppliers to follow our Lynas Group Supplier Sustainability Policy and Code of Conduct.
Established in FY19, this draws on the United Nations Global Compact, the principles of the International Labor
Organization (ILO), as well as the Lynas Business Conduct Guidelines.
In accordance with our Supplier Sustainability Policy and Code of Conduct, all suppliers must agree to respect the basic
rights of employees, institute strong health and safety and environmental protection standards, and establish zero-
tolerance policies against corruption and bribery. Lynas and our suppliers must also avoid the purchase of “conflict
minerals,” i.e. minerals that are extracted in certain countries to the benefit of particular armed groups based there. In
FY20, we reviewed and enhanced our Supplier Sustainability Policy and Code of Conduct. We updated content in the
human rights section and we included a requirement for our suppliers to implement a protected grievance mechanism
for their employees.
The Lynas Supplier Management Process provides range of interrelated procedures and tools to ensure transparency and
awareness with regard to spending, suppliers, and risks and opportunities in the supply chain. Key aspects of the process
include the application of rigorous criteria for supplier selection and qualification. Where Lynas identifies any gaps in
supplier compliance with the Supplier Sustainability Policy and Code of Conduct, Lynas works with the supplier to provide
guidance for new policies, procedures or improvements. We commit to our partnerships with our suppliers and to
helping them improve, however, if problems persist and /or they are unwilling to implement the measures required, they
are excluded from our list of suppliers.
Supplier Audit Checklists are part of the Lynas Supplier Qualification Process, which is regularly reviewed and updated.
Supplier quality audits include questions about sustainability that cover all aspects and requirements of the Code. New
potential suppliers go through the qualification process while existing suppliers are reevaluated every three years.
Lynas has a transparent product supply chain: material traceability and environmental standards. We actively participate
in the setting of standards for rare-earth production, including the development of ISO TC 298 which provides
“standardization in the field of rare earth mining, concentration, extraction, separation and conversion to useful rare
earth compounds/materials (including oxides, salts, metals, master alloys, etc.) which are key inputs to manufacturing and
further production process in a safe and environmentally sustainable manner”.

Appendix: Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
The G20 Financial Stability Board Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure released a voluntary, consistent
framework for companies to report on their climate-related risks and opportunities in order to disclose this information
to investors, lenders, insurers and other stakeholders. This Appendix summarises Lynas’ disclosures in response to these
recommendations and provides references to where further information can be found.
During the year, we became a supporter of the TCFD and undertook a high-level risk and opportunity assessment using
the TCFD framework. Given our focus on sustainably produced Rare Earth products, we recognise that the transition to
a low-carbon economy will provide strong opportunities for our business, as well as presenting manageable risks.
In terms of the transition, potential risks include:
– Geopolitical factors
– Political risks and government actions
– Changes in weather patterns, particularly the potential effect on water supply
– Energy transition to renewables
Further details on each of these risks and opportunities are set out in the Risk Management section of our FY20 Financial
Report which is available at www.lynascorp.com.
As a mining and processing company exposed to risks including water availability, storm surges and rising temperatures,
we understand it is highly desirable that climate change physical impacts are mitigated by keeping global temperature
increases as low as possible, by pursuing measures to actively reduce our GHG emissions intensity and to efficiently use
both energy and water at our sites, in line with the Paris Agreement.
Further assessments will be carried out in 2021, drawing on tools developed as part of international methodological
guidelines for addressing this type of risk, particularly following the publication of the final recommendations of the Task
Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures.
